Australians are watching in horror as Labor's disgusting giant tax grab of a budget, which punishes aspiration, breaks promises and makes Australia poorer, is being rammed through parliament off the back of a shadowy deal with the Greens. This is despite the Prime Minister telling us 50 times he would not raise taxes by making changes to capital gains tax or negative gearing. This is despite the Prime Minister saying 385 times, 'I don't negotiate with the Greens.' Yet here we are with another broken promise and another dirty deal done with the Greens. Labor went to the last election telling Australians one thing, and again it is doing another. Is it any wonder that the Fire the Liar campaign has resonated so successfully with Australians? The Prime Minister has broken promises, and, in doing so, he has given the Australian people a new political punchline: 'I have merely changed my position.'

Labor's budget is rushed. It has been botched, and it is politically desperate. It is a great big tax grab from a government that has lost control of a cost-of-living crisis, lost control of a housing crisis and lost the trust of the Australian people. It's got to the point now that, whenever Labor brings a proposal to this parliament, you know it is going to cost the Australian people more—more regulation, more tax, more pain, more suffering—because Labor has a spending addiction. They keep coming back for another fix, treating hardworking nurses, teachers, police, cleaners, bus drivers and tradies—the people of Australia—like an ATM that they can fund their addiction with. Labor think they can mislead people, rely on their buddies the Greens to run cover for them, pass this big tax grab and get away with it, but they cannot. One Nation supports Australians keeping more of the money that they earn to be spent on the things that they want.
